It's easy to find a Florida hotel geared towards family vacations as there is an abundance of family-themed attractions near the center of the state. There are as many beaches as there are theme parks, so the travel scene is overflowing with beachfront resorts providing immediate or short-distance access to the water. Luckily, the weather permits such travel throughout the year.

Best Times to Visit

Florida is a great year-round vacation destination, but some areas are easier to enjoy during certain seasons. Most of the biggest attractions are open at nearly all times of the year, and this offers respite for those looking to escape the frigid temperatures of the northern winter. In many locations around the state, you can find locals and travelers flocking to the beach even during the holiday season.

It may be cooler in North Florida during the winter, but popular South Florida is always warm and sunny. Theme parks and hotels feature water activities including slides, pools, and rides that can still be enjoyed. Near the ocean, visitors can take part in sports such as snorkeling, diving, and surfing.

Visiting Florida during colder months presents its own benefits as well. Many hotels in Florida are less likely to be crowded due to the cooler weather or lack of family vacationers during the school year. Prices may be lower due to this decreased demand as well.

Popular Attractions and Features

Florida offers many attractions including thrill ride theme parks, theme parks focused on nature and wildlife, gardens, and attractions offering experiences with local sea life. There are parks and attractions for all kinds of tastes, such as Disney World®, Sea World®, and Universal Orlando®. Everglades National Park offers visitors the opportunity to experience one of the most treasured ecosystems in Florida.

The Florida Keys offer an even more peaceful and secluded getaway, and you may even get to try authentic Key Lime pie if you stay long enough. Also in south Florida is a significant Hispanic population. In Miami and the surrounding areas, you can sample Latin cuisine from a variety of national influences or take part in periodic cultural festivals.

Amenities Available at Florida Hotels and Resorts

Hotels in popular destinations often have many features in common that are meant to attract visitors for initial stays and returns. Check out our deals on Expedia.com to compare hotels and choose the best one for your type of vacation.

These hotels are in close proximity to other activities such as golf and nightlife to enhance your local experience even more.

Many hotels take business travelers into consideration and offer conference rooms and meeting spaces. Hotels in Miami are some of the most luxurious in the state. Many are located right on the beach or near historic Miami attractions.

Benefits of Florida Geography

The state offers miles of ocean access on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. If you love vacations on the water, you'll have many opportunities on either coast or even on the edge of Lake Okeechobee. Cities such as Fort Lauderdale and Daytona are celebrated for their beaches, and they are often bustling with visitors throughout the year.

Orlando is located near the center of Florida, making it an easy place to reach should you choose to start your stay in one region and move through the state. Miami is known for its shallow beaches and bold blue waters that provide a taste of the tropics with big-city appeal.

Not far from the airport. Connected to a huge mall where I found everything I needed. About 6 minutes away from target. Two Starbucks, one on hotel ground floor and one inside the mall. New and improve dining or food court. Zara, f21, Macy's, Mac, JC penny. I'm telling everything is right here. You can take your time and shop.

The hotel emanates elegance the moment you walk in. Room was spacious and clean. Lots of closet space. Had beach umbrellas and loungers to rent. Great little cafe to get breakfast items on way to beach. Great little shops. 2 for 1 happy hour M-F. Nice poolside restaurant with great food. Entire staff was superb.

The staff was attentive and the hotel location and amenities were great. Unfortunately the hotel was under construction during our stay limiting the number of working elevators to 2. I would recommend this hotel to a friend.

Hotels in Fort Lauderdale

Pulling up to the hotel, I loved the look and the location! You immediately see the beach/ocean, as it is directly across the street. You literally walk across the street and you are on the beach!! (The beach towels available at the pool for guests to use for free, can be taken to the beach, too!...just remember to return your towels to the hotel pool!) The view from my room (10th floor) was awesome! I couldn't stop looking!! This was truly a highlight!! All the staff are very friendly and accommodating. From the front desk to the pool to the bar to the restaurant to the valet guys to housekeeping...everyone was great! One staff in particular deserves a special shout out...Alex, the bartender!! I spent a couple nights at the bar before going out for dinner and Alex was so welcoming, friendly, and attentive. At times it was as if everyone knew each other around the bar, as Alex was such a great conversationalist, he got everyone talking/laughing...good times at the bar, for sure! And if you ask for recommendations on places to go to eat and drink, Alex is the man!! Both nights I was there, I went out to places suggested by Alex and both were a hit! Overall, I had a great time at the Sonesta...and I definitely will be back!!!
